COVID-19 mitigation measures have amplified these adverse effects, disconnecting older persons from the people, places, and services they rely on for social support in worldwide.</p> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:16:28 +0000 Adam Alias, Alayne Adams, Catherine Paquet 2745 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-africa-healthcare-non-communicable-diseases/implementation-point-care-ultrasound-pocus-two-university-affiliated-medical-centers-northern <h2>Abstract</h2> <p>Many low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) are facing an epidemiological transition and Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) may help better manage some of the new challenges it entails. Although POCUS has already been shown to improve care in LMICs, the overall quality of evidence remains low. This is largely explained by the absence of needs assessment prior to POCUS implementation and by the challenges that arise when measuring significant outcomes in small, non-academic centers in LMICs.</p> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:29:03 +0000 Catherine Auger-Morin, Jonathan Houle, Louise Pilote 2746 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-indigenous-health-non-communicable-diseases/improving-quality-trauma-and-acute-surgical-care-nunavik-quantifying-burden-injury-and-illness <h2>Abstract</h2> <p>Despite recent advancements and interest in delivery of care to Indigenous populations of Canada, many barriers and challenges remain to be faced. There are many geographical, meteorological, transport and resource management issues to be addressed and better studied regarding this population. Thus, our study aims to examine the delivery of trauma and acute surgical care to the population of Northern Quebec. It is important to mention that there is a great lack of epidemiological resources for this population, hence the great interest in conducting this study.</p> Thu, 04 Nov 2021 23:13:06 +0000 Mehrshad Bakhshi and Evan Wong 2778 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-africa-non-communicable-diseases-women-and-child-health/ethnographic-survey-maternal-stress-ugandan-neonatal-hospital-unit <h2>Abstract</h2> <p>Disruption of maternal-infant bonding, hospital environments, and appearance of an unwell child are common triggers of maternal stress in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) in high-income countries. Characterizations of maternal stress in low-income countries are lacking, and may differ due to scarcity of healthcare workers and resources. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate maternal stress and contributing factors in a Ugandan neonatal hospital unit.</p> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:37:17 +0000 Delaney Barth, Efrance Kisooka, Judith Muteteri, Olive Kabajaasi, Abner Tagoola, Jessica Duby 2747 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-africa-non-communicable-diseases-women-and-child-health/exposure-household-air-pollution-and-immune-function-among-rural-south-african-children <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:53:06 +0000 Emannuelle Batisse, T Di Lenardo, J Baumgartner, M Obida, R Bornman, B Ward, S Pillet, T Ramburn, K Moodliar, B Eskenazi, Jonathan Chevrier 2748 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-equity-indigenous/understanding-health-holistically-grounding-quantitative-work-qualitative-findings-through <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:59:58 +0000 Morgen Bertheussen, Mylène Riva 2749 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-africa-americas-global-indigenous-health-women-and-child-health/networks-change-and-well-being-addressing-sexual-and-gender-based-violence-south <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:06:25 +0000 Catherine Dillman, Claudia Mitchell 2750 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-infectious-diseases/addressing-health-challenges-developing-countries-innovations-related-neglected-diseases-brazil <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:21:00 +0000 Isabela Elias Ferraz, Paola Perez-Aleman 2751 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-indigenous-health-non-communicable-diseases/youth-mental-health-services-indigenous-contexts <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:50:10 +0000 Sofia Hempelmann Perez, Srividya Iyer, Gregory Brass 2752 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-africa-healthcare-infectious-diseases/healthcare-seeking-pathways-and-delays-diagnosis-tuberculosis-and-treatment-initiation <h2>Abstract</h2> Mon, 25 Oct 2021 21:01:18 +0000 Lavanya Huria, Bolanle Olusola-Faleye, Elaine Baruwa, Lauren Rosapep, Micah Sorum, Charity Oga-Omenka, Madhukar Pai 2753 at /globalhealth /globalhealth/article/global-health-night-2021-americas-infectious-diseases-non-communicable-diseases/improving-quality-trauma-and-acute-surgical-care-northern-quebec-quantifying-current <h2>Abstract</h2> <p><strong>Background</strong>: Northern Quebec presents unique challenges making it difficult to deliver trauma care due to its remoteness, extreme weather conditions, lack of transport systems, and shortage of health care professionals.
